Being rich isn't the problem. Just like the cliché it's how you play the game. Using the state to stifle competition is not capitalism. Free market competition is capitalism. USA=/=capitalism

Absolutely true! I see a lot of people criticising "free market capitalism". When in fact there's almost no market that's truly free and regulations are often fucking up those markets.

I avoid this reasoning because its a "No True Scotsman" argument often used by collectivists (Venezuela isn't real socialism etc.) but freer the market the better people's lives are.

I read up on the "No True Scotsman" and totally agree. Free market, politics etc. are highly nuanced and subjective topics. Noone has the same definition when something is true/total.
replied 2297d
true, most of these discussions end up being a difference in definitions, unfortunately

The freer the better is definitely true and there will probably never be a truly free market. But one can hope right? :)

sadly, true. but yeah! always hope & work towards it 😄
